Random March

A few pictures from our March month before we head in to April :)

Chick Fil-A!  Our one fast food joint we frequent often.

Reid and his puzzles...he loves them!

Gemma took a spill on the treadmill (it was off, she had climbed up and fell off)

Poor little eye

Fun at Buffalo Wild Wings during March Madness!  The boys were in heaven, and Christian and I actually got to watch a little basketball :)

Puzzles, again!  

Free Cone Day

Why not?  DQ had free cone day last week, the weather was actually decent (unlike this week where we got 4 inches of SNOW on Monday!) and we had a nice night out after dinner.

Spring is coming!

Not sure the boys remember those things they're riding - but we have had a few days where we've actually been able to break out the scooters and bikes!  We've gone to the park and swung in the swings...hope for the snow to be melted and sun to be shining and kids to be playing outside!!

Gemma loving her first time in the swing...sweet baby girl.

Check her out here!  Love it!

All three kiddos swinging after a nice morning job for Mommy and Daddy...summer's going to be fun!

St. Patricks Day coloring

Clearly there are not enough green crayons in the house...  

Micah's very diligent work on his St. Patrick's Day picture.  I love his determination to get the letters and numbers correct! (the "J" and "3" for example...)

And this picture is pretty classic of Micah and his interest.  I just love it :)  

Pony-tail Princess

Need I say anymore??? :)

Kindergarten Preview

Say it ain't so...in the blink of an eye my baby boy is at KINDERGARTEN PREVIEW  y'all!!  How is it possible that he's that big and getting ready to be a big, big boy in school in the fall?  It's just amazing to me - and while I know Micah is ready - I'm not sure momma is!!!  

Below shows him in his element.  Drawing, learning, answering questions...school was made for this kid and he going to LOVE it!  I know that, which helps the idea that he's going become a *little* easier to digest :)  

Poor Micah baby

My baby boy took a big spill the other night!!  He got in a fight with the sidewalk and the sidewalk won :(  Such a sad little boy...

The morning after - and in much better spirits.

You can see the abrasions on his cheek...so raw two nights ago!

Sadly, he wasn't even riding his bike and fell off, but he had ridden his bike, dismounted and come back to give Reid a hug, then turned around and tripped over his feet.  Ah, well...the pains of growing up!  

Flu bug be gone

Ooommmmggggeeeeee.... the flu bug hit us and hit us hard!  For about 10 days at the end of February we were out of commission.  Probably the hardest we've ever been hit as a family and everyone got hit except for Christian.  I don't know how he escaped, except for God's grace, and I'm so grateful for a number a reasons that he was saved from this awful bug.  Micah felt a little sick on a Wednesday, Reid came down with a fever, throwing up, the other end of tummy issues and an ear infection Thursday and Friday.  I got hit Saturday, and Micah Saturday night in to Sunday.  I was better Sunday but down for the count again on Monday and Tuesday.  We all started to feel better by Tuesday afternoon, and by Wednesday were feeling back to normal.  Gemma came down with the non-puking issues on Thursday which lasted a couple of days, and by Friday or Saturday we were finally back to the land of the living.

Gemma discovered how to stand during this time, continued to show her silly personality, learned how to climb stairs (eek!) and loved sticking her tongue out :)

Micah and Reid and I were just pathetic lumps that laid around watching shows or sleeping ALL.DAY.LONG.  It was awful.  Pictures below to document our "fun" time!
